V A CTVP
BY W. B. H. MMBCY.
This Is Essier Bunday—the day io
which'Chnstlans celebrate th* reear*
rootion of Jeeue. the Christ. He bar*
ing been dioeified, waa placed in a
loeh-bewn sepulchre, * atone round
like a mill rock wa* fitted nicely into
»be entrance, a seal wee placed upon
11, and • Roman guard paced around
•bout, io keep the body aafely from
his diacipiea. In th* midet ot these
•nrroQDdiofs Jesus came out ol the
sepulchre, Isavlng behind him only
ibe vsslments in which be wee buried.
„ The Romen guerd accounted for bis
absence from the tomb by eeying that
"bis disciple* came by night and stole
him away, while we slept.”
This is the simple story as z we have
it free Irons all anpernatun.l Ananifes
taiions, revealed to us in tbe scriptures.
Os the testimony of tbe ejldiers, that
the disciples took Jo«ua away while
they slept, it would not be admiesable
io any Court of Justice in tbe world.
Tbe fact that they were aeleep when
Jesus left the tomb would preclude
•I) their testimony a| to hew be went.
'That testimony out, by *ll the rules
of law, we have simply the fact that
Jesus, • wonderful mao, was crucified
and buriedyand after evtry precau
tion taken, disappeared from the eep
ulebre.
Coming to Revelation we find pro*
phecies concerning this great being •
wbirb fully identifies Jesus be'ore any
impartial mind as the coming Messi
ah Isaiah sp.ke of such a being
clearly 800 year* before He ca’me and
from the promise io Eden, that tbe
“seed of a woman should bruise tbe
serpent's bead,” He bad been foretold
by those ol Israel blessed with pro
phetic vision. But as touching tbe
resurrection of Jesus, tbe Psalmist, iu
plain words, certainly foretold it when
he said: “Thon will not leave His
soul in hades, neither wilt thou suffer
thiue holy one to see corruption " *
We have then the revelation of a
being to come, who should differ with .
men who die in two important partic
ulars —one that His soul would not be (
left in hades, and the other that His (
body would not be corrupted in the |
grave. Other men who die are detain* (
ed in hades, and their bodies are cor- (
rupted in the graves, and the only ex
ception we have to thia in the scrip
tures is tbe raising of the b dies of
many saints, after His resurrection,
who went into tbe Holy City and ap
peared unto many.
That tbe bodies of these saints were
spiritualized and not material bodies is
clearly evidenced by the saying that
they appeared unto many. The
thought conveyed in tbe word "aps
pearanca” is ample to show that they
could not be seen until they appeared,
that is, come voluntarily into view,
•nd the fact that they appeared to
many, yet not generally to all, con
firms us in that opinion. There is no
evidence that these bodies had decay
ed, or not decayed. On that the scrip
tures are silent and we cannot say.
Oqr belief, however, is that the bodies
were undecayed, and we found it on
tbe idea that it would ofit be a body if
decayed, and on the principle that
Christ’s undecayed body was changed;
and upon tbe further fact that when
Jesus comes again and the resurrec
tion of tbe righteous takes place, the
bodies of aU tbe living saints will be
, chan hat is, spiritualized.
We found it upon the further state
ment that St. Paul teaches us in Cor
inthians XV, that "we sow not that
body that shall be.” Tbe bodies of
these saints then, we must believe
were brought into the class of Jesus
and the Saints who are alive at hi*
coming. The cases of Lazarus, and
Dorcas, and the widow’* son, were all
cases of resussitatiun merely,and throw
no light upon tbe doctrine of the res*
urrecticn. They lived again, but io
tbe same natural bodies, while Jesn*
and the bodies of the saints that arose
at his resurrection, were such as could
be concealed at will from human view,
and appear to men only whenever it
pleased them to appear. Ibis shows
us a difference that had been wrought
iu Christa body and all of tbe saints
who arose at his resurrection, and
clearly evidences a difference between
the natural body, and tbe spiritual
body, and confirm* fully what Paul
tell* u* in tbe chapter of Corinthian*
quoted : "there is a natural body and
there is a spiritual body.” Tbe rela
tionship existing between the natural
body and the spiritual body is on* Os
the hidden things of God. So when
any man boldly affirms any proposi
tion-fixing this relationahip we believe
he does so without authority of script
ure. This we know that Christ's body
was turned from a natural body into
a spiritural body. He appeared in a
room when the doors were all closed.
AU men oould not eee him, but only
those to whom he appeared- Any
sensible mind can understand that a
change bad taken place, lor a natural,
material body ean not be handled in
that way. Io Christ’* case this change
took place io an uodecayed human
body. When Christ comes again the
same change is to be wrought io the
bodies of the living saints What
kind ol bodies the saints' had at the
resurrection who fame oui of tbeir
we do not know. Then in the
light of this, are we to believe infer
entially that the decayed natural bod
ies of men will be brought together
and be changed?
Will they be changed at all? Does
not tbe dissolution of tbe body and the
return of its elements into natnre do
sway with ths necessity of the change?
Was not the change simply the de
struction ol matter, as in a flash of
lightning, in the twinkle ol an eye? If
not the destruction of matter, was it
not tbe transformation of. mattei by
its'absorption into t.pirjlual life? At I
any event, is it not God’s act to uuen- •
cumber the spiritual natnre? If this
is true, does it not unencumber itself
when dissolved by the processes of na
ture? If it does, then why should tbe
body we put away iu the grave be
called forth again? 1
Did not Paul tell us that the seed
does not get its new embodiment ex
cept it die? When death intervenes
then, God gives -it a body as it has
pleased Hina. So with man—when
death Barnes, does not God give him
another embodiment as it please*
Him? Doe* that embodiment spring
from the natural body? We can only
say that the natural body of Jesus was
—and the natural badies of tbe living
saints at His coming will be—changed
into spiritual bodies; but we cannot
say that thediodies which are by na
ture diesolved need to be brought to*
geiher ’ again, from which God is to
w.eave a spirit body for tbe dead.
We repeat this is one of the hidden
things, and we cannot approach it
with any hope of solving it. There is
nothing in nature that teaches us that
any dead matter ever comes to life
again. Tbe trees, the shrubs and the
flowers are rrjuvenated-by tbe ‘ breath
of tbe south,” and we see in spring
time-*, beautiful picture of resurrected
life. Bjt the dead tree, the dead shrub
and the dead flower never wakes to
tbe gentle smell of nature. Th* lar
val insects are transformed from
"worms of the dust” into beautitul
winged butterflies, and some have re
ceived that as an example of the res
urrection ; but if tbe larval die at any
time in tbe transformation the golden
wings are never formed.
So nature would say that whether
in the flash of the last day, or in tbe
natuhd dissolution; when the human
body is dissolved, it has passed into a
silence that knows no ending.
We doubt not God’s ability to do
anything. We are simply feeling af
ter Him that we may know His will
and comprehend His truth as it is de
livered to us We believe with the
wise old Pythogoras, who said:
“Death has no power, the immortal part
to slay,
That, when its present body turns to clay,
Seeks a fresh home and with undiminished
might,
Inspires another frame with light and
lite.”
